      Decent salary and benefits but the work is non-stop with little or no down time.

      Pros

      The salaries are competitive for the area and for the industry (software development). Benefits are pretty good and lunches and dinners and easily available and affordable.

      Cons

      The Mac has been around for decades. But Apple still has a bit of a startup mentality. Depending of what group or department one works in it may be difficult to get weekends off or real vacations of more than 1 week.

      Punishing. But after this, anything is easy.

      Pros

      Name recognition, beautiful products millions of people use. It's not often you can tell people in any country what you do and they all know what you're talking about. Tremendous learning experience—probably a great thing to have on the resume, too.

      Cons

      Incredibly stingy for such a high-value company. Below-market compensation because of the desirability of the brand. Will let you work yourself to death—work/life balance is abysmal. Too much work and not enough people—unless you repeatedly raise a red flag or leave, they will never give you more people and will try to take some away to work on new initiatives. The commute is horrific.

      Not worth pursuing

      Pros

      Other than the name of the company, working at Apple wasn't really rewarding.

      Cons

      The ancillary departments such as Customer Support do not have really good caliber management or people working there. The management has been there for well over a decade so it's very stagnant.
